Coverage

Where does the 579 area code apply?

The 579 area code was introduced on August 21, 2010, as the first overlay added to the 450 territory: the fast-growing regions ringing the Island of Montreal — Laval, the Montérégie South Shore, Lanaudière, the Laurentians and Centre-du-Québec.

579 numbers are assigned on the same footprint as 450, and a second overlay, 354, followed in 2022 to keep up with demand. A 579 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your customers across the region, wherever your team works from.

Phone number essentials

What to know about a virtual 579 number

579 shares the same regions surrounding Montreal as 450 — Laval, the South Shore, Lanaudière, the Laurentians and Centre-du-Québec. It was introduced in 2010 as an overlay of 450, with 354 added later in 2022, and it operates in the Eastern Time Zone.

Number format

+1 579 XXX XXXX internationally; 579 XXX XXXX within Canada.

Local dialing

Always dial ten digits: the area code followed by the seven-digit local number.

Number type

A geographic local number, distinct from a toll-free number such as 800 or 888.

Cloud operation

Answer from connected devices without needing a physical office anywhere across the South Shore, Laval or surrounding regions.

Same territory

579, 450 or 354: which should you choose?

All three area codes cover the same region surrounding Montreal. 579 was introduced in 2010 as the first overlay on the original 450 code from 1998; 354 was added later, in 2022. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
